Chapter 5. Using the Operator Print Tests This chapter describes the print tests you can perform to: Demonstrate printing capabilities Adjust printer operations Check the printer configuration Check printer operation. Any of these tests can be performed at anytime. However, all tests should be performed when there is no print data buffered in the printer processing. When you go into test mode, the printer goes offline. When you exit test mode, the printer performs a partial reset before going back online. This partial reset clears any buffered print data and anything stored in printer storage, such as downloaded fonts or overlays. Entering the Operator Print Tests may cause the forms configuration settings to be adjusted. If the current settings are less than a maximum print position of 72 or a maximum page length of 66, the printer will adjust the settings to a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page. This is done to ensure correct formatting of all offline customer tests. The original settings will be reset when the printer returns to the online state. If the settings are larger than the required page dimensions, the settings are not changed. General Test Instructions To enter the Operator Print Tests menu, press Test when the printer is not ready.
